Some Things You Can't Take Back
Well she was lookin out the window
And I was starin at the door
The dog was sleepin on the sofa
This place has never been this quiet before
You cant pretend it never happened
You cant pretend its still the same
You cant say you were only jokin
You cant keep thinkin things can go on this way
CHORUS
Some things you cant take back
Though you wish you could
Some things you cant take back
Though the glass has been broke
And the milk has been spilled
And your loves on the line
Some things you cant take back
When someone says theres no tomorrow
When the writings on the wall
After all have cried and spoken
And your poor heart has taken such a fall
REPEAT CHORUS
If I could reset the clock and go back in time
Id erase the thoughts that went through my mind
You know I never would leave
And Id still have you with me
You cant pretend it never happened
You cant pretend its still the same
You cant say you were only jokin
You cant keep thinkin things can go on this way
REPEAT CHORUS
Some things you cant take back
Cause in the cold light of day the pieces all blew away
And now Im livin a lie
Some things you cant take back

Just Pretend
(words & music by flett - fletcher)
Just pretend, Im holding you
And whispering things soft and low
And think of me, how its gonna be,
Just pretend I didnt go
When I walked away, I heard you say
If you need me, you know what to do
I knew it then, Id be back again
Just pretend Im right there with you
And Ill come flying to you, oh yes
All the crying is true
Oh, I will hold you and love you again
But until then, well just pretend
Oh, its funny but I cant recall the things
We said or why youre crying
But now I know it was wrong to go
I belong here by your side

Things
Ev'ry night I sit here by my window (window)
Starin' at the lonely avenue (avenue)
Watching lovers holdin' hand 'n' laughin' (laughin')
And thinkin' 'bout the things we used to do
[CHORUS]
(Thinkin' of things) Like a walk in the park
(Things) Like a kiss in the dark
(Things) Like a sailboat ride
(Yeah-yeah) What about the night we cried?
Things like a lover's vow
Things that we don't do now
Thinkin' 'bout the things we used to do
Memories are all I have to cling to (cling to)
And heartaches are the friends I'm talkin' to (talkin' to)
When I'm not thinkin' of-a just how much I love you (love you)
Well

Twistin'
She set your goldfish free
And now she's sighing
Blew out your pilot light
And made a wish
She doesn't have to have
her db's records back now
But there's not a lot of things
That she'll take back
CHORUS
She wants to see you again
She wants to see you again
See you twisting in the wind
She's not your satellite
She doesn't miss you
So turn off your smoke machine
And Marshall stack
She doesn't have to have
Her Young Fresh Fellows tape back
But there's not a lot of things
That she'll take back

My Mind's Got A Mind Of It's Own
My mind's got a mind of its own
It takes me out a walkin' when I'd rather stay at home
Takes me out to parties when I'd rather be alone
My mind's got a mind of its own
I've been doing things I thought I'd never do
I've been getting into trouble without ever meaning to
I'd as soon settle down but I'm right back up again
I feel just like a leaf out in the wind.
(chorus)
I seem to forget half the things I start
I try to build a house and then I tear the place apart
I freeze myself on fire and then I burn myself on ice
I can't count to one without thinking twice
(chorus)
I tell myself to do the things I should
And then I get to thinkin' that them things ain't any good.
I tell myself the truth but know I'm lying like a snake
You can't walk on water at the bottom of a lake.

I'll Be Back
You know if you break my heart i'll go, but i'll be back
Again, 'cause i told you once before goodbye, but i came back again.
I love you so oh i'm the one who wants you, yes, i'm the one
Who wants you, oh ho, oh ho, oh
You could find better things to do, than to break my
Heart again, this time i will try to show that i'm not trying to pretend.
I thought that you would realize that if i ran away from you that you would want
Me too, but i've got a big surprise, oh ho, oh ho, oh
You could find better things to do, than to break my
Heart again, this time i will try to show that i'm not trying to pretend.
I wanna go but i hate to leave you, you know i hate to leave you , oh ho,
Oh ho, oh
You, if you break my heart i'll go, but i'll be back again.

Brand New
Yo...
Let me start off by first apologizing...
Girl you think I take you for granted...
But im...
Im here to take it back...
[chorus]
Can we
Pull back a minute and make believe
That
I dont know you and you dont know me
Darling lets pretend
This old school love is brand new
Can we
Explore the places Ive already been
Just
Tell me where and Ill kiss it again
Darling lets pretend
This old school love is brand new
I know I shouldnt have to ask
But it seems that Ive relaxed
And Im getting the feelings that
Its time I take it back
Remembering late night escapes
In the car callin out my name
You being scared when your friend was late
Then being cool when it finally came
Those were the days...
[chorus]
Way back when hickies were the thing
You wore bloomers, not that sexy g-string
And gettin blue balls was a daily thing
But it was alright, with me
To when that very first time went down
How you moaned when I went down
You were the one
I had no doubt
We need to get that back right now
Cause those were the days...
[chorus]
Were still here (yah)
Cause we conquered every feeling (every feeling)
The fire burns inside like yester year
My baby since back in the day
We knew it would be us
Holding on to that first crush
Got to say today, is what it was
So lets keep on sending, its only beginning
[(chorus) repeat 2x]
Back...
Like cadillacs and hubcaps
Back...
Like leavin letters in your nap sack
Back...
Like jellies and pro cast
Back to girl...
When we first met
Back...
To when I got the glove on
Back...
To when our love was so strong
Back...
To the days I know you miss
Ill get back , I promise this
Take it back...

Hell Song
Everybodys got their problems
Everybody says the same things to you
Its just a matter how you solve them
And knowing how to change the things youve been through
I fear Ive come to realize
How fast life can be compromised
Stand back to see whats going on
I cant believe this happened to you, this happened to you
Its just a problem that were faced with
Am I not the only one that hates to standby
Complications headed first in this line
With all these pictures running through my mind
Knowing endless consequences
I feel so useless in this
Cant patch that back and as for me, I cant believe
[chorus:]
Part of me, wont agree
Cause I dont know if its for sure
Sunnenly, suddenly
I dont feel so insecure
Anymore
Everybodys got their problems
Everybody says the same things to you
Its just a matter how you solve them
What else are we supposed to do
[chorus x2]
(why do things that matter the most
Never end up cutting close
Now that I find out, it aint so bad
I dont think I knew what I had) [x2]

Get Over You
Get Over You"
I can remember the day and time that we broke up
It was December and the holidays were coming up
I didnt expect to loose all of the time I shared with you
But now that its gone I find myself longing for you
[Pre-Chorus]
No doubt about it Im sorry for the way things worked out
If I could change it I would change it but I dont know how
Oooooooooooooooooo
(No I cant aint no need to cry when I know the reason why)
You chose to leave me but I still wish you were here with me
[Chorus]
Its true I cant get over you
No matter what I do
Even if I try I, I cant get over you
I can remember calling your phone and hanging up
Cause I was to afraid to talk, if by chance you picked it up
But now that I done thought about it,
Id feel better if we talk about it
And let you know whats on my mind
See I wanna try to make things right.
[Repeat Prelude]
[Repeat Chorus]
Lately Ive been doing some reminiscing
Id be lying if I said that I dont miss you
I have feelings from deep in the past
Cause now I need you back
It wasnt so bad
[Repeat Chorus 2x]
I cant get over you
I cant get over you
No I cant get over
Said no way I cant get over
I cant get over you
Alright yea yea

Now And Then
I think this time you've said enough to make me want to leave this place
Still I keep coming back for more of the same to fan the dying flame
Here inside these walls that seem to move a little closer every day
There must be a way out of this crazy game we play out to the end
Let us just pretend a while
Think about the good things now and then
I think this time that was the best time that we two had ever known
We tried the handle of the house upon the shore and found the open door
Once inside we found a curious moonbeam doing dances on the floor
We were only playing like two children who had stayed away from school
Two of us could not be wrong
Heaven knows who keeps the golden rule
I think this time we've learned enough to know that nothing is the same
But still the pounding of my heart hasn't changed and leavin's so
strange
Here among my thoughts of you I find a gentle longing to be free
There must be a way out of this crazy game we play out to the end
Take away the in-between
Think about the good things now and then
We will see the day when you or I will stay or face up to the end
Let us just pretend a while
And think about the good things now and then

Back To Back
=========================================================================
Behind every good man stands a good woman
Though they might be looking a different way
While she's dealin' with one thing
I've got another thing comin'
If I'm looking at tomorrow, she'll be thinkin' 'bout yesterday
CHORUS
Back to back, we face each other
Still together all alone
We'd be the last to turn to one another
But I know we'll make it together on our own
Nobody could ever come between us
Or force our backs against the wall
Today we're tighter than I've ever seen us
Bending over backwards together, we could never fall
REPEAT CHORUS
Back to back we face each other
But I know we'll it together on our own

Going Nowhere Somehow
Take a look at where youre going
Do you know where you come from?
Seems like youve spent your life just
Searching, in the length of just one song
But you know youre going nowhere
Like so many of your age
This has gone on far too long now
To be dismissed as another phase
Well you can turn the clock back
Pretend that youre still young and
Unaware. but everyone that you lack
Weighs upon your mind, when shes not there
I dont want to break your heart,
I dont want to let you down
Its just that I always thought
Life would be more than just
Going nowhere somehow.
Now your friends are disappearing
Theyre getting scarcer day by day
Youve only got yourself to blame for
That, you always wanted things that way
Cos its easier being lonely
Than being let down again and again
When youre standing on edge of
Things, it means you never have to pretend.
Well you can turn the clock back
Pretend that youre still young and
Unaware. but everyone that you lack
Weighs upon your mind,
When shes not there
I dont want to break your heart
I dont want to let you down
Its just that I always thought
Life would be more than just
Going nowhere somehow.

Never Said It Was Gonna Be Easy
Sometimes as I look backon the things I used to do
Rememberin' all the things I been through
I tell myself, should've known, as it seems we always do
But man, if I only knew
Chorus:
Never said it was gonna be easy
Days were long and the nights were neverending
Never said it was gonna be easy
But oh, I'd do it all again
People always told me, "You'd be better off in school"
Join the race, learn the golden rule
But music taught me so much more than I could ever sing
And man, I wouldn't change a thing
(Chorus)
So many nights I'd look to the sky
And wonder where I am
But nowhere in sight, I'm trying again
Tryin' with all my might ... never again
(Chorus)
Sometimes as I look back on the things I used to do
Rememberin' all the things I been through
I tell myself, should've known, it seems we always do
If I only knew
I'd do it all again

Statecontrol
I've been around the world I take credit for the things I've done.
I've done a lot of things and I just turned 21.
They tied me up put red tape around my hands.
I got caught in the web cause I didn't stand a chance.
I can't control the state I'm in - Go back in line and repeat it again.
I said "Please Mr. Doctor" won't you cure my disease.
I got a sore throat and I got scrubs on my knees.
No matter what I do I can't get it straight.
I tried to sort things out but I'm still stuck in the state.
I can't control the state I'm in - Go back in line and repeat it again.
Can't control the state I'm in - Go back in line repeat again.

After All
Well, here we are again;
I guess it must be fate.
Weve tried it on our own,
But deep inside weve known
Wed be back to set things straight.
I still remember when
Your kiss was so brand new.
Every memory repeats,
Every step I take retreats,
Every journey always brings me back to you.
(chorus)
After all the stops and starts,
We keep coming back to these two hearts,
Two angels whove been rescued from the fall.
After all that weve been through,
It all comes down to me and you.
I guess its meant to be,
Forever you and me, after all.
When love is truly right
(this time its truly right.)
It lives from year to year.
It changes as it goes,
Oh, and on the way it grows,
But it never disappears,
Chorus
Always just beyond my touch,
You know I needed you so much.
After all, what else is livin for?

Cant Nobody
Trying to let you know what its all about
I know you wanna leave
So many little games silly people play
Dont act foolishly
Im so real, so soft to touch
My love my kiss so sweet, glorious
The look on your face
Anyone can see
No one does it like me
Chorus:
Oh no, oh no cant nobody
Do it like me, uh uh oh no
Cant nobody do it like me (repeat)
Uh uh and get right down to it like me
Uh uh, na na na na na na na na
I knew youd be the one to come out
Your worth, I need you please to relax
I know I messed up but if you leave me now
Aint no coming back, no more no me no you
No us no kiss no hug, tell the truth
See Im the only one that can love you
Babe, youre not that big a fool

2nd time: (repeat) cant nobody love you like me

Way Back Then
Night is falling
Were doing the things we do
You are acting just like me
Im acting just like you
Do you remember
When you were my friend?
Thats the way Id like things
Just like way back then
Babys sleeping
Brother is on the run
I am out undoing
All the good Ive done
If you loved me
Tell you what I would do
Wrap the world in silver foil
Bring it home to you.
Lately I feel
That I cant pretend
I may never ever see
The likes of you again
I take a walk, I come back home
Then I sit a spell
Watch the ponies dance around
The empty wishing well.
Night has fallen
Ive said the things I did
The only baby sleeping
Is when I was a kid
Do you remember
When you were my friend?
Thats the way Id like things
Just like way back then.

Well it looks like youre alone again
I heard about your misery
She took you around the bend
And now youre coming back to me

Thats all she wrote
Forget about her let her go
Thats all she wrote
And I love to say I told you so
Think I know what happened late last night
I can tell by looking in your eyes
She spelled it out in black and white
And she left no room for compromise

I could see it from a mile away
But I dont wanna rub it in
All I want is just to hear you say

Well forget about the pain somehow
